"One night, I built my version of an editing machine and began animating on toilet paper. It was my reaction to everything that was in the air - the uncertainty, the erratic human behavior and the overwhelming feeling of being lost. I created my set of rules, which helped me imitate the process of animating directly on film stock. One such rule was to not watch the animation in progress until an entire roll of toilet paper was completely filled with images. I did not use a storyboard or follow a specific idea; instead, I followed the feeling that I need to animate another roll of toilet paper, and then another and another. As the animation progressed, a theme crept in: An artist tries to play as a war rages somewhere - abstract at first, before it actually enters their realm." Anna Samo Play: both a verb and a noun - and despite the world's disasters, an artist insists on both. A story told through a filmmaker's art, inspired by Bach's timeless music and painted on rolls of toilet paper in an homage to the tradition of painting directly on 35 mm film.
